Gain The Height Advantage

The Wall And Stairs Combo

Creating a wall with stairs immediately behind it is a basic tactic in Fortnite that provides both cover and height advantage. It makes the enemy waste bullets trying to destroy your wall first before your height advantage.

"Fort" Night

Building a fort grants you superior height advantage over your enemy, while also providing great cover because of the fort's structure. However, it will take some time and a lot of materials to build a fort.

Port-a-Fort

Having a Port-a-Fort in your inventory allows you to immediately deploy a tower fort when used. It is a one-time-use item so use wisely!

Build Bridges

Floors provide you a way to travel across difficult terrain! What can you do with bridges?

A Bridge Over Troubled Water

Crossing bodies of water drastically slows you down. Building bridges will help you cross it faster than going around the lake! Remember you need an anchor first to build the bridge!

Up High!

Need to get to another roof in a pinch? Or how about get to another hill? No problem! Bridges can cut down your travel time!

Vertical Mazes

Other than having a traditional fort, you can create a massive structure of random building units to create a huge height advantage and cover.

Keep Them Guessing

Keeping your enemies guessing your exact location in your structure is a perk of building vertical mazes, it can fool an enemy into thinking you're on the top floor when you could be hiding in the 6th!

Block Them From Following You

By using random pieces you can block an enemy from getting to the higher levels with floors and stairs. This can buy you some time when they try to break it down with their pickaxe, or waste bullets destroying it.
